According to historical documents, by 1631 Tajima's eldest son (Yagyu) Jubei had demonstrated himself to be the best swordsman of the Yagyu clan. The mystery of his legend revolves around the fact that in 1631 he was suddenly (for unknown reasons) dismissed from the Shogun's service. Nothing is recorded of Jubei until his sudden reappearance before the Shogun 12 years later in a demonstration of his (newly) learned sword skills after which the Shogun immediately re-employed his services.Yagyu Jubei died 19 years later under mysterious circumstances.
